Melissopalynology, antioxidant capacity and mineral toxic element contents were analyzed in eight types of Hungarian honeys. Based on color, two groups distinguished: light honeys comprised acacia, amorpha, phacelia linden honeys; while dark included sunflower, chestnut, fennel sage honeys, with 100 to 300 700 1500 mAU, respectively. The unifloral origin each sample was supported using pollen a...

Abstract Lipoxygenase (LOX, EC1.13.11.12) catalyzes the oxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids and further generates oxylipins via enzymatic or non-enzymatic pathways, thus participating in regulation growth development, stress response, other processes. The objective this research was to characterize function evaluate mechanism lipoxygenase gene AfLOX4 ’s role enhancing drought tolerance. ...

Artemisia annua L. produces small amounts of the sesquiterpenoid artemisinin, which is used for treatment of malaria. A worldwide shortage of the drug has led to intense research to increase the yield of artemisinin in the plant. In order to study the regulation of expression of a key enzyme of artemisinin biosynthesis, the promoter region of the key enzyme amorpha-4,11-diene synthase (ADS) was...
